    Lyrics:
    He's leaving (leavin)
    On that midnight train to Georgia
    (Leavin on a midnight train)
    Said he's goin' back (Goin back to find)
    To a simpler place and time
    (Whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)
    Oh yes he is

      The thing that I love the most about this scene is that a few minutes before in the episode, Chase seemed so unamused to bring House, and he only asked to him because "Well, Wilson already paid...", and they are living the night of their life, where House seems to be genuinely happy to be with them

    • @davidb1060

      I found the story of the inspiration for the song noteworthy: Jim Weatherly, a star QB at the Univ. of Mississippi, had a flag football league teammate in LA that he had become good friends with, actor Lee Majors, well before the Six Million Dollar Man. He called him one night, and his new girlfriend answered the phone, they had already met a few times so they chatted for a minute, and a not-yet-famous Farrah Fawcett said she was busy packing her clothes to take "the midnight plane to Houston". Jim said bells went off in his head as he thought "That sounds like a song title", so as soon as he hung-up the phone he grabbed his guitar and was finished writing and composing the song within 30-45 minutes.

      I agree 100%. Remember, though, that the guy in this song is a loser. "...some day he'd be a star (a superstar, but he didn't get far)" Dude couldn't even drive back because he had to sell his car, hence the train. If this song was autobiographical, what a loss it would have been for all of us.

      When I was little my mum did her cleaning on a Sunday and she put music on while doing it. This was my favorite that she put on.

      There's a live video of Gladys singing this song and she's laughing while singing. It helped me lighten up about this song.

    I went to LA to have a good time and ended up staying a while to end up finding out that California wasn’t for me, and just like this guy I went back to the south because this is where home is, thanking God for every experience!!

      If your not prepared for that, just stay down south. It's grimy up here
